AKG K702 impressions. - Page 2

Here is my copy baste letter to AKG forum.

Hi

I bought AKG K702 few months back.
They sound soo good, i enjoy sound quality really very very much.

But i also want to let you know they are insanely uncomfortable on top of the head.
* The leather is hard and the leather arch is inflexible.
* Together with strong self adjusting / regulation mechanism they compress wavy cavities on top of my head,
and it hurts.
* The damage they do to my top of the head doesn't go fully away after 3 days not using at all them.

Compared to AKG K401 they are more uncomfortable.
K401 regulation mechanism isn't that tight and the over the head arch is more flexible.

I made soft cushion 2cm thick to put between my head and hard leather arch,
now the self adjusting mechanism fully extended has not enough out extension space and the headphone ear paddings
bottoms push on my ears and on fully extended they put much stronger force on top of my head than just their weight.
It feels like the paddings force my ears up and top of the head down like jaw wrench.
Self adjusting mechanism doesn't keep my desired / selected length and pulls ear paddings back up.

Problem is all pressure is put on 2-3 center hard leather paddings on bottom of the leather arch.

I used to use them 5 - 12 hours a day, even 16
it hurt but now i have discovered that my top of the head gets deformed heavily - not sure how safe it is.
I still use them, thy are the best sounding headphones by far i own now.

So i have tested them out in street.

I was positively supprised because there was no discomfort and pain on top of my head.

It appears to be true when you walk then there is no constant pressure on same area of the head

and the pressure is not constant in strength.
 

I walked around 6 km ~ 3,73 mi and i never even had to straighten them on my head.
